TAP TEMPO: Press the Tap Tempo button once and the display will show ‘tAP’ and
enable tap tempo. Press the Tap Tempo button twice more in time to set the
Tempo. The new tempo will show on the display.
Tap Step: To enter Steps with the Mute/Sel buttons, hold the Tap Tempo button
until 'tAPS' displays. Now single presses to the Mute/Sel button will place a Step
at that beat when CYCE is not 0. The button taps are quantized to the previous
16th note, and the trigger is not fired until the next cycle. In this mode the chan-
nels will not mute however. Hold the Tap Tempo button until 'tAP' displays to exit
Step Tap.
RESET/CLEAR: Press quickly to reset the internal counter to the counter reset
value (CYCS) display will show (‘rSEt’) and a Reset pulse will be sent to the Reset
jack to synchronize other sequencers to the start point. Press and hold to clear
the current programmed state (‘CLr’). Clearing sets all divisions to 0 (off), probabili-
ty to 100 (on), steps, clock and time offset to 0 (off) and pulse width to 25%,
cycle start set to 1, cycle end set to 0. Tempo is unchanged and any stored Pre-
sets are untouched as well. To clear just one row or column, hold the Mute/Sel
button next to a trigger out of that row or column then hold down the Clear
button till display says (‘CLr’).
MATRIX/INDEPENDENT: This selects between the default Matrix mode (‘MAtr’) where
the rows and columns interact with each other, and Independent mode (‘INdP’)
where each output on a row or column can have its own setting. In Independent
Mode, the Mute/Sel buttons on the bottom and right side of the module are held
down and the desired knob turned to set values in this mode. In version 1r04 and
later, holding this button shows the latched row/column.
Note: The parameters in the two modes are separate so changing modes does not
carry over any settings. This doubles the number of preset settings stored in the
Riot.
BOSS: Select this button will make the Riot the ‘Boss’ when using the SyncBus
between multiple units.
SEL/MUTE: The four buttons on the bottom and four on the right of the module
either select which row/column the knob changes in Independent mode or mute
the output. Tap the button once to mute or unmute an output in either mode (a
red LED indicates a muted output). Press and hold in Independent Mode and then
turn the desired knob to select the function for that specific output. For example,
hold the Mute/Sel button next to output A and turn the third knob in the A
column to set a division. In firmware 1r04 and later the buttons latch so they don’t
need to be held, and the display shows the row/column latched.
